MY WIFE.

She is my wife. and all the livelong day
think OF her,
And in the deep oblivion Of the night
dream OF her;
When she is near sweet and tender calm
Tails softly on my heart with soothing balm
Like the murmur'd sound Of an angels psalm
Pleading for man.
She is my life, If love is life's author,
Guardian and friend,
Guiding my feet from the pitfalls Of woe
Fer to the end.
When she is far my heart is sore oppressed
And sadly beats against my weary breast.
Like prisoned bird that seeks its distant nest
With restless wing.
She is my soul. IL from the soul there leaps
That holy fire
That sccrches at its birth the poisoned glance
OF base desire.
She lights me as of old DER desert sand
And Turing wales Of sense was lit that band
That followed Moses 20 the promised land
OF rest and peace.
Ar, wife Of mine. my wife. my soul, my all,
Be ever near
Eiay chilling shadow of thy loss ne'cr fall
Upon me here:
but down the opening aisles of future years
BE by my side TO quell the rising tears
That flow from hidden springs Of doubts ant
fears
Within my breast.

The Inflated Louis H.. of Bavaria
was so nervous and impressionable
when boy that some faces not only
repealed, but terrified him. There
were two or three servants whose
features he lOathed; but King Maximi-
lian, his father. wishing to cure the
boy of this nonsense. rs he called it, in
sisted that they should wait on the
Prince. The father was IN honest and
enlightened King, but he was not u
wise nor Il genial educator. His REM
edy for the boys nervousness only in
tens.fied the disorder. For when Prince
Louis met these servants, he would
tremble. shut his eyes, and turn his
face to the wall until they had passed
out of sight. He had several uncon-
genial tutors. and in their presence
this Id would sit dumb and stupid.
They could teach him nothing, for he
would not learn any thing from them.
At last his mother, who had not shared
her husbands opinion as to the best
method of curing the boy. prevailed
upon the King to humOr the lads an-
tipathies within reason.
The obnoxious servants and tutors
were removed. and attendants and
teachers with whom he could be SYM
pathetic were chosen in their stead. The
indulgence produced good results. The
Prince studied, became less nervous,
and gradually learned to control his
emotions at the sight of disagreeab,c
faces. But he always remained be-
lever in the trustwOrthiness of tl,S
revelations made by physiognomy. He
once told this antecdote. to illustrate the

AboIishing Fence Rows

In laying out farms or in remodel
ing the fields an important considera-
ton is how many fences and fence
rows can be abolished. When this
question is carefully studied it will be
found that great gain in land and
a: other in convenience of working the
field will be easily made. If instead
of fences broad strips of grass are left
as divisions, and to afford space for
turning of the horses and for roads,
nearly all the hay needed may be thus
made. these belts being seeded down
and manfred just as ordinary grass
land would have been. One other inn
portant advantage is the almost total
eradication of pestiferous weeds which
find abundant seeding places in the
common fence rOws.-Nontreal Wit
